I disagree that it's okay for Maria and Tom to be rude to Matt. Even though society tells you to do one thing, doesn't mean you have to do it. As you get older you have the choice to follow society or to not follow society. Even though Matt is a clone. He is also a human being. He can breath and do everything everyone else does. He is just like them, so they should treat him like another human being.
